It may be a difference of definition, but when I think of a "self-sufficient" society, it would include the capability to keep itself safe. In a world without higher order, and without people to do that for them, they'd have to be able to do it themselves. With lots of raiding by the Bloods, they'll have to get very good at it, too.

I'm going to have to side with RR here; a self-sufficient society has a better chance of survival than a gang that is too stupid to try to set up some sort of protection racket in this post-Apocalyptic future.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Considering the territory in question (South Ossetia) is officially Georgian territory, and has been since 1922, no, they wouldn't be so stupid.

You're saying Georgia is attempting to secede from Russia? Since Georgia has been seperate from Russia since 1921, and an independent state since 1991, Georgia has no need to secede from Russia.

Unless you're somehow confusing Georgia with Chechnya.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
